Re: Kelly Clarkson Scrapped Her New Album

I don't understand the hate for Never Again. It's not a masterpiece of course, but none of the Breakaway singles were either. It kind of reminds me of Since U Been Gone. Never Again has already gotten stuck in my head a couple times, so at least it's catchy, and I like it.

Re: Kelly Clarkson sets the RECORD straight!

Some one in some threads made a very good point about Kelly the more you listen to her songs the more you like them at least I agree with the comment I was very meh about Never Again but after hearing it a few times I love it

Re: Kelly Clarkson sets the RECORD straight!

I think she needs to stand up for herself. When a singer writes their own music and they sing it the right way you can feel the difference in a performance. They feel more accomplished and good about themselves because they know they wrote that song and their fans like it. I like Never Again and if its a preview of whats to come from My December then bring it because I think it sounds awesome. And if it bombs, so what, most artist that have been around for many years: Madonna, Janet, Whitney, Mariah, Melissa Esthridge, Sheryl Crow......, (which Kelly hopfully will) all have had bomb records. And all have come from the ashes with new awesome music.

Brilliant.

Say all you want about Britney, but she's sold 76million albums. Something Kelly will never reach if she thinks she can crank out hits on her own. It's already happened with Alanis Morissette? Jagged Little Pill was HUGE. Then she went and tried to do it on her own, and her sales plummeted. With that, she faded into obscurity.

Who give a damn how many albums Brit cranked out. An artist is measured by the quality of their work not their popularity. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin only charted in the top 40 once but they're LEGEND among legends. And if anyone even tries to compare Brittney to either of them they need to put down the weed and join us in reality

Re: Kelly Clarkson sets the RECORD straight!

I dont really care about the whole controversy bullcrap. Just listen to the music and stfu. OR don't listen to it. AND stfu.

Best damn post in the thread so far.

I'm excited for Kelly's new album. "Never Again" is good - you just have to listen to it a few times. I already have tickets for her show in Philly. Her last tour was great. The girl can sing and has a very personable/friendly personality.

kelly clarkson "sober"

First came out the Avril Lavigne a.k.a cliche "britney spears" album, and now we have to listen to Kelly Clarkson with another dud. The new song is Sober and it will be from "My New December." Since her first single flopped they have to release another single fast cause you know this album is gonna suck. "Sober" does not do Kelly Clarkson justice. I am so dissapointed in her for wanting to do her own producing and musical arr. on her new album.. You should have listened to Clive. You may be a singer and songwriter, but you are not the next Mariah Carey so stop trying to produce you own shit, cause it sucks.. Here is sober, try to ejnoy..

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

It's a great song, but it's not single material. Oh well I'm sure she will release it it will be critically acclaimed but it wont sell as well as her other albums and she will find some black producers to work with on her next album and all will be well with the world again.

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

I love this song...I love Never Again....I love Haunted....I think this is gonna be a great album...and who the fuck cares if it is as big as Breakaway?! She's doing her music the way she wants to...I"m glad she's not working with huge hit producers...cause then she'd be churning out the same junk that is out there already...if I have to hear another Timbaland produced song I"ma kill someone!

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

Everyone needs to get off her ass. No, the album probably isn't going to sell as much as Breakaway. That's common sense and anyone who doesn't realize that needs to be injured. However, this is real music. It's not "hey hey you I wanna be your girlfriend" shit that's overplayed on the radio. The song's great and I love it so the OP can go lick a razor. Mariah Carey hasn't really written and produced her own music since like 1996 so that comparison was bullshit. Study your music history a little better next time pal.

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

(I'm only making fun of Kelly because her Album cover that was posted here looks like an Evanescence cover, and she's got a song called "Sober" and after that whoel let's trash Amy's House Video with Ben Moody (Sure lives up to his name), that apparently wasn't real)

Oh and that first single, I was digging it till the refrain....

And that's fine, to be honest it does like Evanescence-like. But I think a lot of people are just writing her off because of all this Clive controversy crap.

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

I love her first album, the song she did with tamyra gray should have been a video. the second album was amazing cause it was so different and this new one, to me, seems like its as good as the last. i think she sounds amazing and i cant wait to buy it!

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

I actually really liked this song. The warble is kind of annoying, but that's what you get with illegal downloads.

It's kind of hard to compare her to Mariah Carey (whom I love). I think a lot of people want Kelly Clarkson to be a pop singer and she's not. She's more on the lines of Ann Wilson, Pat Benetar and early (important: early) Bette Midler. And I think each album is getting closer and closer to showing that. I actually hated Thankful, but loved Breakaway for that reason.

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

Alright I LOVE the new album....IMO it's the best of the three....not everyone is gonna agree...but that's my opinion. It's definitely a different sound then the first two....but If you've seen Kelly live in the past like 2 years you can tell from the covers she was throwing into her set (Patty Griffin, Ray LaMontagne, Annie Lennox, Marc Broussard etc..) you could tell that this album wasn't gonna be the same as Breakaway. That was a fantastic pop/rock album...and on this she is getting more personal, since she produced and wrote/co-wrote all of the album. There isn't a huge pop anthem on this album like "Since U Been Gone" was...but this album will have huge hits at Hot AC stations for sure! "Sober", "Maybe", "Yeah", "Be Still" and the hidden track "Chivas"(yes it's about choosing the scotch Chivas Regal over her man..haha) are all great tracks!I will def be in line to buy this on the 26th!

Re: kelly clarkson "sober"

That sentence is absolutely everything that is currently wrong with the music industry.

WORD.
I don't/have never listened to Kelly Clarkson's music but I will give her credit for not compromising herself and creating HER art. I have respect for this even if she has to suffer for her art(losing fans,sales.) Now I hope all other cookie cutter "pop stars" will take note. More then likely not because the lot of them have no spine. Go Kelly. I may even give you a listen. Maybe..
